Does Fostercitycharterbuscompany.com own the charter buses?

No, and that's the best part for your school! Fostercitycharterbuscompany.com is a bus rental comparison website, not a single local bus company, so your trip is never limited to whatever one fleet happens to have parked in its lot on a busy spring field trip date. Instead, you compare options from one of the largest networks of independent bus operators in Foster City, the cities around it, and all of California, book through a national booking platform, and travel aboard a modern vehicle supplied by a local company!

What amenities can we request for a school field trip bus?

Depending on the vehicle you select, school groups can book a 56-passenger charter bus or a 15-passenger minibus to 28-passenger minibus equipped with seat belts, climate-controlled A/C, onboard WiFi, power outlets, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, PA systems for teacher announcements, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage storage bays!

How much does a school charter bus rental cost in Foster City?

The cost of your charter bus depends on the bus type you choose, your trip duration, your mileage, and the time of year. Spring prom weekends in April and May, graduation weeks, and peak fall academic calendars book up quickly across the Bay Area, so locking in your reservation early helps you get the best rates. Because multiple independent bus companies in our network compete for your school's business, you aren't stuck paying a single local fleet's high peak prices.
